Restatement of Violation:
r
'
10 CFR 50.54(t) requires an annual review of the emergency
preparedness program and that the results of the review, along with
recommendatione for improvements, be documented and repotted to the
licensee's corporate and plant management and retained for a period of
,e
five years.
Ccatrary to the above, the licensee did.not mainthin
documentation of the 1983 annual emergency preparedness audit, did not
perform an annual audit during 1985, and did not report the results of
,the 1986 annual audit to appropriate corporate and plant management.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement VIII)
Response:
In the following-response, the term "review" refers to the
activities required by 10 CFR 50.54(t), and the term "audit" refers to
the activities required by PBAPS Technical Specification 6.5.2.8.e.
Admission or Denial of the Violation:
Philadelphia Electric Company acknowledges the violation as
stated.
Reason'for the Violation:
The reason for not maintaining documentation of the 1983 annual
emergency preparedness review, not performing an annual review during
1985, and not reporting the results of the 1986 annual review to
appropriate corporate and plant management is that no clear
assignments of responsibility for generation, distribution and
retention of an annual emergency preparedness review existed at the
time.
The 10 CPR 50.54(t) review in 1986 was performed by Enercon
Services under a contract administered by the Emergency Preparedness
Section.
It was felt by Emergency Preparedness after the review was
completed that Emergency Preparedness could not issue the results of
the review because they lacked the required independence.
This
l
situation was not resolved and consequently the distribution was not
completed.

Significance of Violation:
From 1983 through today, PBAPS has demonstrated an adequate
emergency response capability through the effective conduct of drills
and exercises.
The results of the 10 CFR 50.54(t) review performed in
1986 did not identify any significant conditions adverse to the
quality of the Emergency Preparedness Program. -The review stated,.
'"The. Review Team determined, based on the information, facilities
equipment reviewed and the individuals interviewed, that the PBAPS
Emergency Preparedness Program is generally in a state of preparedness
to respond adequately to an emergency."
Further, although reviews
were not performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(t), the annual
audit of the.PBAPS Emergency Preparedness Program as required by the
Technical Specifications has been performed each year.
Corrective Actions Taken and Results Ach}eved:
The failure to maintain documentation of the 10 CFR 50.54(t)
review performed in 1983 and the failure to perform a review in 1985
cannot be retroactively corrected.
The 1986 10 CFR 50.54(t) review
results have been reevaluated by the Emergency Preparedness Section,
and the open items have been distributed to appropriate corporate and
plant management for resolution.
Action plans have been developed for
the' tracking and closure of the items.
Corrective Action Taken to Avoid Future Non-Compliance:
Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA), formerly the Nuclear
Operations Quality Assurance Division, did complete the 1987 10 CFR 50.54(t) review, and has been assigned the responsibility for the
performance of future reviews and the distribution and retention of
the results.
This group has had the responsibility for the
performance of the audits of the Emergency Preparedness Program as
required by the PBAPS Technical Specifications.
The results of the 10
CPR 50.54(t) reviews will be distributed to appropriate corporate and
plant management.
The findings and associated corrective actions and
recommendations will be dispositioned and tracked in accordance with
Emergency Preparedness Section procedures.
Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved:
l
l
The reevaluation of the results of the 10 CFR 50.54(t) review
!
performed in 1986 was completed in January 1988 and individual items
!
were entered into the Emergency Preparedness Action Item Tracking
System.
Completion dates for resolution of all items riot previously
closed were established as of March 31, 1988.
